    I bought this recently thinking I had a full ink cartridge. I think it was half full cause as installed it and printed one paper the ink monitor says it’s halfway. Woah. Anyway I didn’t take it back. Hopefully no one has this issue.

    Ordered online and was ready for pickup before I had time to drive to the store. Pulled up outside and they brought it out, very smooth transaction.

    Ink gets used up too fast and is messy to change cartridges. Not happy.

    I always buy the value pack of ink because if I only by the one I need within a day or two another one runs out so I like getting the pack so I am always prepared.

    Printing quality is good but the ink tends to run out really quick. I would recommend printing two pages in one page so save some ink.

    I’ve been burned by generic ink refills too many times. They either don’t work or ink quality is subpar. I’ll spend a few extra dollars not to have to deal with poor quality.

    i needed to replace the cyan and yellow, and magenta was almost empty, but they couldn't read in the printer, saying there was an error with them, they showed empty levels and an x on a new black cartridge i also needed. cleaning the nozzles and doing some test prints to see how things were printing out only showed magenta and black. before these i had generic ink which were no problem, so now i bought generic ink again on amazon and everything runs smoothly.

    I was promptly helped and directed to the printer cartridge area. I was a bit miffed that you did not have the 6 pk of cartridges for the my Canon Printer. I expediently checked out and was on my way.

    Ink is fine but expensive. Printer itself inexpensive and prints are of good quality. But consumption of ink is excessive and very expensive. When printer fails i’ll Buy another brand

    Ink tank purchase for my printer were good . I chose combo pack to save money.It does appear that the stock is low so I'm always fearful they will not have the ink when I need it.
